What is NGY Blonde & Silver Ritual?

NGY Blonde & Silver Ritual by Code Zero is the two-step home toning routine of the No Glow Yellow line, with No Glow Yellow Shampoo 300 and No Glow Yellow Mask 300 for blonde, highlighted, lightened, grey and white hair. The pH 5.5 shampoo with violet pigments helps neutralise yellow and brassy tones in 2-5 minutes, then the pH 4.0 mask with rice bran, soybean and safflower oils adds a toning touch, softness and shine. The result is a cooler, brighter blonde and clear silver reflections between salon appointments.

Key ingredients

• CI 60730 (Acid Violet 43) and CI 60725 (shampoo and mask): violet pigments that help neutralise yellow and brassy tones on light hair.
• Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (shampoo): a wheat protein derivative that gives the wash a soft, caring feel.
• Urea and Methyl Gluceth-20 (shampoo): humectants that help keep the hair soft and manageable.
• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (mask): plant oils that nourish the lengths and give softness and shine.
• Tocopherol and Retinyl Palmitate (mask): vitamin E and a vitamin A derivative that complete the care formula.
• Citric Acid (mask): sets the acidic pH of 4.0.

Results

Blonde, grey and white hair looks cooler and brighter, with neutral, silvery reflections in place of a warm, yellowish cast. The lengths feel soft, supple and easy to comb, with a smooth, shiny surface. A longer leave-in time within the 2-5 minutes gives a cooler tone, and a final rinse with cool water brings out the shine.

How to use NGY Blonde & Silver Ritual

1. Before the first use on very light, porous or white hair, test on a hidden strand and check the shade after rinsing.
2. Wearing gloves, apply a small amount of No Glow Yellow Shampoo to wet hair and massage it in evenly.
3. Leave on for 2-5 minutes, depending on how cool the tone should be; on very porous hair keep the time shorter. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Towel-dry the hair, apply No Glow Yellow Mask to the lengths and ends and distribute it with a wide-tooth comb.
5. Leave on for 2-5 minutes, watching the reflection.
6. Rinse with lukewarm or, better, cool water for maximum shine.

FAQ

How long is each step of NGY Blonde & Silver Ritual left on?

2-5 minutes for the shampoo and 2-5 minutes for the mask; on very porous hair a shorter time is enough.

Which hair does it suit?

Blonde, highlighted, lightened, grey and white hair on which yellow or brassy tones show.

Why are gloves recommended?

The violet pigments can tint the nails; gloves keep the hands clean during application.

Can it be used right after bleaching?

Yes: on lightened hair it refreshes the tone and the pH 4.0 mask completes the service; on very porous hair a strand test comes first.

How many services does the kit give at salon amounts?

Around 37 washes with the shampoo at about 8 ml and around 15 applications of the mask at about 20 ml; long or thick hair needs more.
